  5. Layer two slices of cheddar cheese on the donut half, followed by two slices of bacon.
  6. Top with another donut half, cut-side down.

Notes

Serve this Donut Grilled Cheese warm, right off the skillet. Slice into smaller pieces for a fun presentation; offer extra maple glaze on the side for dipping. It's best enjoyed fresh, as the donuts can become soggy when stored.
